WebLogic 12.2.1 RESTful Management by Frank Munz

WebLogic 12.2.1 is out since Oracle Open World 2015 and comes with a new RESTful management interface.

RESTful management for 12.2.1 is a rewritten and different implementation. The previous two implementations supported only a small subset of JMX attributes, you could only read them, URLs and versioning were different.
